DETAILED DESCRIPTION

To further illustrate, embodiments detailing an electronic cigarette are described below. It should be noted that the following embodiments are intended to describe and not to limit the disclosure.

As shown in FIGS. 1-5, an electronic cigarette comprises an atomization assembly A and a battery assembly B. The atomization assembly A is disposed on the battery assembly B.

The atomization assembly A comprises an e-liquid tank 1, a first seal ring 2, a limit cover 3, a second seal ring 4, a ceramic core 5, a third seal ring 6, a seal gasket 7, a base cover 8, a seal plug 9, a stainless iron 10, a silica pad 11, and a joint 12. The first seal ring 2 is disposed on the top of the limit cover 3. The second seal ring 4 is disposed on the ceramic core 5. The third seal ring 6 is disposed on the bottom of the ceramic core 5. The second seal ring 4, the ceramic core 5, and the third seal ring 6 are disposed in the limit cover 3. The seal gasket 7 is wrapped around the base cover 8. The limit cover 3 is disposed on the seal gasket 7. The joint 12 is inserted in the silica pad 11. The seal plug 9 is inserted in the base cover 8. The base cover 8 is disposed in the c-liquid tank 1, and the stainless iron 10 is wrapped around the base cover and is disposed on the bottom of the e-liquid tank 1.

The battery assembly B comprises a spring contact 13, a magnet 14, a support frame 15, a lampshell 16, a cap 17, a button 18, a battery 19, a silica ring 20, a silica gasket 21, a control panel 22, a bolt 23, and a housing 24. The spring contact 13 and the magnet 14 are disposed on the top of the support frame 15 for electric conduction and connection to the atomization assembly. The battery 19 comprises an output end connected to an input end of the control panel 22 to supply power to the control panel 22. The silica ring 20 is disposed on a pneumatic switch on the control panel 22. The silica gasket 21 is disposed on a power button of the control panel 22 to protect the power button and exhibits insulation function. The cap 17 is disposed on the silica gasket 21 to ensure the stress balance when the power button is pressed. The button 18 is disposed on the cap 17. The control panel 22 is disposed in the support frame 15 and is fixed by the bolt 23. The support frame 15 is disposed in the housing 24. The lampshell 16 passes through the openings of the housing 24 and the support frame 15 and is fixed on an LED light element on the control panel 22, to gather and transmit the light out of the battery.

The control panel further comprises a battery level indicating circuit. The battery level indicating circuit controls the LED light elements on the control panel to display different colors to indicate the battery level of the battery. The lampshell 16 is a transparent and focusing polycarbonate material.

Repeatedly pressing the button 18, for example, 3 times, the electronic cigarette enters the first working mode, i.e., can be ignited by the pneumatic switch; thereafter, repeatedly pressing the button 18 again, for example, 3 times, the electronic cigarette enters the second working mode, i.e., can be ignited by the power button.

It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made, and therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications.
